Your voice originates at your vocal cords and then resonates through your chest, throat, and head as it comes out of your mouth.  b. “Open up" the chest, throat, and head cavities to allow the voice to resonate 4. Expand the shape of your mouth a. Relax and open your mouth wide, so you can produce a ‘big’ sound.
